Fitness Trends of 2018 Are Driving Bangaloreans Crazy About Zumba - Do You Agree or Disagree?

Since the last decade, Indians have become more alarmed about living a healthy lifestyle, including fitness regimes in daily routine and practicing good hygiene. Having said that, the fitness freak Bangaloreans are definitely not just sitting back and watching others move their body to the beat. They have been a part of many fitness activities like marathon, cycling, badminton and foosball to name a few. Rather today, people have moved beyond treadmills and cycles and are creating new fitness mantras to rule the charts.

Indian Fitness Industry – From Treadmills to Wiggling & Pumping on Latin Music

As per 2017 stats, the Indian fitness industry has crossed Rs. 7000 crores and this is expected to grow by 22% – 27% in 2018. The branded clothing itself is incidentally more than a 6 million business in itself. This is the reason that with the rapidly rising urbanization, people have moved from treadmills to other fitness forms like Zumba, Masala Bhangara, Yoga, Cross-fit and much more.

Today most of the gyms that we see around us, have Zumba, Yoga and Cross-fit as mandate in their offerings. Compared to other fitness forms, Zumba has been on the rise in India since a couple of years and the Zumba Instructor’s Network is growing by thousands, each year. This new age workout is not only helping gyms to increase their client base, but is also helping them maintain a good retention rate.

Zumba has already taken Bangalore by storm and let me tell you, it’s not just dancing. It’s a choice of life and if you are still not aware about it, then here’s a sneak peak.

Millions & Still Counting

Zumba is the world’s biggest branded fitness program, that was originally founded by Alberto Perez in 2001, the street performer, who, in order to make some extra cash, used to teach the wives of wealthy businessmen how to dance in the nightclubs. Today more than 1.2 million people in India practice Zumba and this figure is sure to quadruple in the coming years.

Today, you might see Zumba happening at any gym near you. A young woman in fisherman’s pants, loose hair, patterned bandana, wiggling to pumping Latin music or some desi Bhangara beat and others in her class shaking their booties and following her. Now Zumba is not just seen as a way to healthy lifestyle, but also as an entertainment brand combining e-commerce, music and apparel.
